Quick question,

After a protracted bout of searching here, I am still looking for an app that would allow me to easily switch my default browser from one to another. I have seen the tutorial on setting Opera Mini as default, and know that some browsers allow you to have an entry in preferences that you can check to set as default.

But is there an app that will allow me to quickly switch between Skyfire, Netfront, PIE, Opera et al?

Have any of the gurus written this yet?

Don't think it has been done yet. I'm not a programmer so I'm not sure how difficult this would be. It would seem to have something to do with the registry. Maybe the app could make those registry changes...then again, I'm not sure

hi,

If your just trying to changing your default browser, I would suggest just changing the registry key (in the HKCR) for htmlfile to launch the desired browser. Total Commander offers a registry editor.

If you want to change the default browser on a regular basis then you could write a fairly easy mortscrip code to offer the list of desired browsers and then change the registy keys to launch the new default browser. There is a mortscript code examples which shows most of the steps to do this.

Cheers,
